Trip Advisor names a tour of the Stetson Mansion as one of the “top 10 things to do in Florida.” The 1886 Stetson Mansion is the largest and most spectacular “Gilded Age” residence ever built in Florida before 1900. The Victorians started our modern day traditions like gift giving and Christmas trees, so what’s better than seeing where it all started? The Stetson Mansion had one of the first trees ever illuminated with electric lights. That’s what you get when Thomas Edison is your bff! The Stetson Mansion is Florida’s most historic home, but it is not a museum. It is a private residence that is lived in and welcomes guests this time of year with over the top elegant and reverent adult holiday decorations. Prior to our tour we will have lunch at Cook’s buffet.
